Yes, I know. You thought it would be something about Asuka. You're such idiots.

Now I have the mental image of Gendo in FINAL giving a motivational speech like Ragyo like "Core is the world! Core is life! Core is everything!" while Misato gives a frenzied motivational speech like Satsuki to the whole Wunder fleet just before the final battle!
That would be AWESOME.

That depends on what pose you think is cooler : the Gendo Pose or the Satsuki Pose, and whether scheming and plotting to hijack an apocalypse is better than scheming and plotting to stab Ragyo in the back and chop off her head.
What's the real difference between Gendo's treachery and Satsuki's? Gendo had everything going "according to the scenario" all the way till Rei's rejection in the bitter, bitter end demolished the whole works. Satsuki, who should have known better what Ragyo was made of, blew it much earlier on and got thrashed for it. Gendo is still the better schemer, even though Satsuki is by far the better tyrant.

One can be proven (and proven effective), the other cannot. That is all I need.

Gendo's a wannabe, since he failed by every measure. Satsuki succeeded, and that's what counts in the end. So the real difference is that Satsuki succeeded and Gendo failed, simple as that.

The big problem is also that we saw the minute details of Satsuki's plan, while we're completely left in the dark about what Gendo exactly do except one or two cryptic meetings and conversations here and there, and only at the end we learn that it was actually according to his plan.
It would be as if we skip all of Light's planning and explanations and jumped directly to the end results of his plans, without even a flash-back afterwards explaining what he did.
Although even with explanations Lights often comes as rather broken and nigh psychic, and I admit that Gendo isn't as smart and manipulative as he make himself to be, and most of his plans have an heavy dose of luck and are more akin to all-out bets. (see in 2.0 when after his first move against Bethany Base, SEELE pushed him completely against the ropes in record time)

Split this out since it had turned into a tangent. Anyway...
Yes, Satsuki wins in terms of awesomeness, but I am still going with Gendo as a character. Satsuki is superhuman herself even without being a life fiber hybrid - just look at her literally blow away Sanageyama's huge gang in her flashback. She works on a different level. Gendo is more an evil administrator, scheming in his own quiet way. The real difference between the two characters is that Satsuki learns from her failure with people and has time to correct herself, but by the time Gendo realized the magnitude of his error, it was too late.
Against Light Yagami, well...Light simply doesn't count next to those two.
Gendo has the pose of pure evil. Everything goes according to his scenario, even things that don't go according to plan!

Satsuki wins in terms of sheer awesome, in terms of being an antagonist, and in terms of being a human being. She realized in a few weeks what Gendo didn't manage for decades, and this despite the fact the latter had a wife and son to give him perspective. Pose for pose they're about equal, but I'm hard-pressed to see what else Gendo brings to the table.
In fairness, Satsuki did have an awful lot of support, and had it for much of her life. That did give her a considerable advantage Gendo never really had. But going from "Pigs in human clothing!" to "Snap out of it, Ryuko! RYUKO!" . . . she's just god tier, man.

WTF? That joke I made ended up as a topic? lol
I'd say Satsuki is awesome but seriously, Gendo has a 14 year plan, Rebuild Gendo apparently planned 28 years ahead.

Seeing that at the end of 2.0 he was saying that his plan would be completed soon and that in 3.0, 14 years later, he's still at it and is using EVA-13 in place of EVA-01, I would rather say that something happened during the time skip that completely screwed over his plan (probably related to the 12th Angel reaching Lilith) and that he had to adapt his plans, which took him 14 years.
If anything, he's good at bouncing back after a set back, which isn't Satsuki's case, who bet everything in her surprise attack in the Ragyo stadium, after that it was mostly improvisation.

Nonsense, that was only the first plan in his plan.
